Armed Robbery on Prater Way

Police are looking for the woman who robbed a tobacco store on Prater way in the early afternoon on Sunday, August 25th.

According to Sparks Police, officers were called to the King of Tobacco store at 562 E. Prater way just after 1:30, on a report of an armed robbery.
